It's been a huge PITA and I had to get escalated to the Office of the President to ask them to push down the next version of their firmware 7.1.1.33 in order to try and resolve the problem. Seems "okay" so far but I hear more and more problems from customers and friends alike on this modem.
Your post just reminded me that this issue hasn't happened to me in a couple months. Previously I was experiencing the same thing. Made playing games, using zoom, and remote desktop absolutely terrible to use. Had to constantly reboot to fix it.
Just had a look at my router config page and it's running 7.1.1.33. Looks like I must've been on the earlier version and they pushed out the latest firmware a couple months back.
